NAME

6       CSSTRI - calculates a Delaunay triangulation for data on a sphere

SYNOPSIS

9       CALL CSSTRI (N, RLAT, RLON, NT, NTRI, IWK, RWK, IER)
10

DESCRIPTION

12       N           (integer,input) The number of input data points (N > 2).
13
14       RLAT        (real,  input)  An  array  containing  the latitudes of the
15                   input data, expressed in degrees.  The first  three  points
16                   must not be collinear (lie on a common great circle).
17
18       RLON        (real,  input)  An  array  containing the longitudes of the
19                   input data, expressed in degrees.
20
21       NT          (integer, output) The number of triangles in the triangula‐
22                   tion,  unless IER .NE. 0, in which case NT = 0. Where NB is
23                   the number of boundary points on the  convex  hull  of  the
24                   data,  if  NB .GE. 3, then NT = 2N-NB-2, otherwise NT=2N-4.
25                   The input data are considered to be bounded if they all lie
26                   in  one  hemisphere.   Dimensioning  NT for 2*N will always
27                   work.
28
29       NTRI        (integer, output) A two-dimensional  integer  array  dimen‐
30                   sioned  for  3  x NT where NT is the number of triangles in
31                   the triangulation (NT is at most 2*N).  NTRI  contains  the
32                   triangulation  data.  The vertices of the Kth triangle are:
33                   (PLAT(NTRI((1,K)),PLON(NTRI(1,K)),
34                   (PLAT(NTRI((2,K)),PLON(NTRI(2,K)),
35                   (PLAT(NTRI((3,K)),PLON(NTRI(3,K))
36
37       IWK         (integer, input) An integer workspace of length 27*N.
38
39       RWK         (double precision, input)  A  work  array  dimensioned  for
40                   13*N.   Note that this work array must be typed DOUBLE PRE‐
41                   CISION.
42
43       IER         (integer,  output)  An  error  return  value.   If  IER  is
44                   returned as 0, then no errors were detected. If IER is non-
45                   zero, then refer to the man  page  for  cssgrid_errors  for
46                   details.

USAGE

49       CSSTRI  is  called  to  find  a Delaunay triangulation of data randomly
50       positioned on the surface of a sphere.
